Westbrook/Geha/Larson/Hunt/Smith - Giulio Smith

Some operas are best left untouched in regards to their stage direction while others can benefit from updated sets and new aesthetics. Peter Sellar's bold reinterpretation of Handel's GIULIO CESARE falls into the latter category, and this staging from 1992--starring Lorraine Hunt-Lieberson, Jeffrey Gall, Drew Minter, Susan Larson, and James Maddalena--is an original and stunning adaptation.
